Saturday, November 26th, At 2:00 P. M.
This is part of the late David May home place, 4 miles north of Greensboro, on
the Gethsemane Rock Road, Church Street Extension; and adjoining the
Pleas McAdoo estate and the J. E. Latham land, and has been subdivided into
five and ten-acre tracts. "
This.larui is undoubtedly the most desirable piece of farm" land in Guilford
county that we have' ever cut into small tracts; this land is cut so that each
tract will have enough wood and merchantable timber for building purposes,
and about two-thirds in open land, in a high state of cultivation, suitable for
growth of small truck and general farming.
This farm is located on one of the best hard surface roads iri the county, and
. in one of the best neighborhoods, convenient to schools and churches and one
mile of iWhitaOak Cotton Mills. This is a subdivision we invite you. to look
over you will have to see it to appreciate it. Seldom you have an opportunity
of buying small tracts of this character of land, with its location.

The abundance of high quality raw

The shale brlok t of a finer texture
and has better absorption and wear
ing qualities than common clay brick.
It is used extensively as a face brick
on account of its rock-like resistance
to the weather and also to Its rich
color.
The shale at Norwood, whleh seems
to have considerable edge on the
other shales of the state, had lain Idle
sine the world began, if on believes
one way, or since that particular age
or epoch in which shale strata were
laid and then crumpled out of shape,
If one believes the other way. Nothing
was done to It except to heap maledic

should happen to turn out a larg slsed
